HINSDALE – Teaming up with the Illinois Fire Chief’s Association and neighboring fire departments, the Hinsdale Fire Department announced it will once again participate in this year’s Keep the Wreath Red program.

The program, which began on Thanksgiving and runs through Jan. 5, promotes holiday fire safety by increasing fire safety awareness.

A red lit holiday wreath will be displayed inside the fire station’s Mini Museum, 121 Symonds Drive. During the program, if there is a holiday related fire, one of the red bulbs will be replaced with a white one – furthering enforcing the goal of keeping the wreath red.

The month of December is the peak for home fires, because of candles, excessive Christmas lights or poorly cared for extension cords, according to Hinsdale Firefighter Steve Tullis.

He said the village hasn’t had a significant fire in December in quite some time – and they hope to keep it that way.

“We don’t get a lot of fires [in December] because people are generally cautious,” Tullis said.

But, he said, there were some very close calls.

It’s important for residents to remain proactive with home fires, Tullis said.

Recommendations from the Hinsdale Fire Department include never leaving candles unattended, remembering to blow candles out after they are used, not running extension cords under carpets or rugs and double checking smoke detectors to make sure they are working properly.

A few quick tips n Keep fire hydrants clear and

accessible. Do not place anything around the fire hydrant, such as garbage containers and excessive piles of snow, which would limit its use or make it difficult to find in an emergency. n Keep live Christmas trees from drying out by frequently watering them. Be aware of your tree’s life and when it becomes brittle, discontinue using the lights. Always turn off the lights when leaving your home. n Make sure your fireplace is in good working order and the chimney is free from obstructions and creosote build-up. n Christmas wrappings and tree branches should not be burned in the fireplace. Their intense and rapid burning can cause chimney fires and flames to extend out of the firebox into your home. n As always, check your smoke detectors and make sure they are in good working order. If you did not change the batteries when you changed your clocks for daylight savings time, change them now.

“Do a quick check, whether you’re hosting a party or going out of town throughout the holidays, to prevent a catastrophe,” Tullis said. “Or call and we’ll come out. The fire department is always available for the residents.”

For information about the program or fire safety, contact the fire department at 630-7897060 or at fire@villageofhinsdale.org.

HINSDALE – With the help of two area organizations, 13 community health leaders graduated from the Ladder to Leadership: Developing the Next Generation of Community Health Leaders program Tuesday.

The program – led by the Community Memorial Foundation and the Center for Creative Leadership – was meant to boost the capabilities and skills of early to mid-level professionals working in health related nonprofit organizations in an effort to assist the individuals with gaining greater leadership roles in their organizations.

“We hope that they learned that leadership development and learning is a lifelong journey,” said Lynn Fick-Cooper, of the Center for Creative Leadership. “It’s a journey without an obvious destination, but it’s one worth the work.”

Fick-Cooper said if the graduates do the work, they’ll reach heights they never imagined, which some already have.

During the ceremony – hosted at the La Grange Country Club – the graduates split into two teams and presented the group projects they’ve been developing over the last 16 months.

Each project was meant to effect change in the community, creating positive impacts and providing the graduates with real-life learning experiences.

Group one, The Ally Project, discussed the idea of collaboration and it’s importance in the community. The group’s presentation showed how, in today’s society, collaboration among nonprofits is essential

Fire departments raise money, shave mustaches

By KRISTIN PEDICINI

Hinsdale firefighters sport mustaches

kpedicini@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – In an effort to raise awareness and money for prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health issues commonly faced by men, two area fire departments joined together in November for a friendly Movember competition.

The Hinsdale and Western Springs fire departments competed in a month-long mustache themed contest to see which department could raise the most money and ultimately claim the traveling Movember Helmet trophy until next year’s upper lip battle.

Hinsdale Firefighter Jim Nichols said the competition first began last year at the department. During this year’s ’stache challenge, the department had eight contenders who raised a total of $400.

Movember is just a fun competition for the group. “[Growing a mustache] is an old fire house tradition,” Nichols said. “Our wives hate it, but we like it.”

Firefighters in Hinsdale grew and then shaved their mustaches during November to raise awareness about mens health issues.

Western Springs Deputy Chief Gary Mayor shaves his 40-year-old mustache Nov. 30 for the department’s Movember challenge.

Most of the funds were raised via Facebook from friends and family, according to Nichols.

He said this particular cause is “near and dear” to the firefighters’ hearts.

“Everyone knows someone who has cancer or who has had cancer and we’re no different,” Nichols said. He said he knows a former firefighter who was recently diagnosed.

adno=S0250702

No matter the outcome, it’s all about getting the word out there, according to Nichols. He said it’s important for people to know when they see the mustaches in November, it’s not creepy, it’s for cancer awareness.

While the Hinsdale department didn’t shave their mustaches together, firefighters from the Western Springs Fire Department got together Nov. 30 for a shaving event at Kenny’s Irish Pub in Countryside.

Hinsdale firefighters who were supposed to attend the event were unable to because of obligations at the fire house.

This was the first Movember event for the Western Springs department – who claimed this year’s trophy by raising $2,325.

The department’s captain, Steve Heinzelman, said many firefighters sported ’staches and then shaved to support the cause.

One Western Springs firefighter alone raised $698, according to Heinzelman. He said it was fun to bring so much awareness to the causes.

“It brought a lot of people together for a good cause and being able to do it made me feel good,” Heinzelman said. “I hope it catches on next year and other departments will get together to see who can raise the most money for good cause.”

Echoing his future plans, Nichols said this is a movement he hopes to turn into a “gigantic” event. Both firefighters

The Western Springs Fire Department took the traveling trophy home after winning the 2014 Movember contest with the Hinsdale Fire Department. mentioned bringing neighboring fire departments to create an area wide competition in the future.

“I hope that this tradition will continue as long as I can make it go,” Nichols said. “This is something we can sustain and I truly want to make this a big deal.”

nlurz@shawmedia.com WHEATON – DuPage County’s campaign to save the lives of overdosing heroin users got a financial boost during the Nov. 25 County Board meeting, when Chairman Dan Cronin accepted a $70,000 donation from the group Friends of Ed Heil.

Oak Brook resident Ed Heil, who lost a grandson to a heroin overdose, donated $50,000 to the DuPage Narcan Program in October, challenging friends, foundations and other organizations to match or exceed his contribution.

Jeff Narcisi awarded the check on behalf of Friends coordinator Palumbo Family Foundation of Hillside to honor Heil’s request, as well as his 70th birthday.

“We saw the press confer-

ence and we were motivated,” Narcisi said.

Narcan is a nasal spray that delivers the chemical naloxone into the body of someone who is overdosing on a narcotic, reversing the drug’s side effects to allow for further medical care. As of Nov. 25, the county’s program has trained 1,700 officers in the use of Narcan and 29 lives have been saved using the tool since March, a county news release stated.

Heil’s original donation alone will allow the program to continue another two years, according to county officials.

Cronin said the members of the DuPage Against Heroin Coalition, including the county’s board, health department, coroner’s office and state’s attorney, have been working “tirelessly to meet this very, very troubling problem and to overcome it.”

RCC can help parents with difficult topics Let’s talk about sex.

A year ago, I was walking my 9-year old to school when he asked, “Mommy, what’s S&M?” Parents of this generation of children are more intent than ever to make a “great job” out of parenting. We’re ambitious about it – from health, to athletics, to education. So there COMMUNITY was a lot of pressure riding VOICE on this question: It was the Katherine very first question he had Leibforth ever asked me about sex and he didn’t even know it yet.

I looked into his sweet face “We’re good at teaching and tried to think of lies that started with the letters s or m. medically and He was holding my hand and I was enjoying what would be scientifically accurate the last year he did so pubsex education. We have licly. He looked at me with eyes so trusting, I told him no problem answering the truth. The conversation awkward questions.” became complicated and embarrassing and ended when he Jackie Gill said, “Stop talking!”

Robert Crown Center Education It’s not easy for parents to supervisor talk to their kids about sex – and some topics and questions are obviously more difficult than other. In the end, I told him the nicest, safest version of the truth I could make out of S&M, because I know that once they start asking they just keep seeking the answer until they find it. I thought it would be best if he got that answer from me.

If you’re not sure how to start talking to your children about sex, the professional sexuality educators at the Robert Crown Center for Health Education have put together some resources for you on their website, www.robertcrown.org. Look for PEP talks.

Robert Crown Center Education Supervisor Jackie Gill oversees the education of 80,000 students each year.

“Many parents don’t feel comfortable talking about sex, and some don’t have the right answers for the questions kids ask,” Gil said. “Just like math teachers are good at teaching math, we’re good at teaching medically and scientifically accurate sex education. We have no problem answering awkward questions.

It’s what we do every day.”

The best holiday traditions are the ones that endure, and that’s certainly the case with the 49th Annual Hinsdale Christmas Walk. The event takes place from 4 to 8 p.m. today and features the Christmas tree lighting ceremony, a visit from Santa Claus, ice carving demonstrations, carolers and more. It’s a great way to kick off the season!

No to 55 downtown Downers Grove condos

The soon-to-be-built 55 luxury condos in downtown Downers Grove is a horrible idea. Just imagine the daily traffic with the owners’ cars in and out. And what happens when an owner moves in and

out? Will Maple be down to one lane with moving vans? It was announced at the Nov. 18 board meeting that there was no significant positive effect on Downers Grove downtown businesses can be traced to any of the already built condos in the downtown area. In other words, downtown condo development has not stimulated the lagging downtown sales.

Justice needs to be done in Ferguson, Mo. To see an officer get away with something like that or to shoot an unarmed teenager is just stupid. The grand jury did not even indict him. He should have been charged. They now have to deal with riots, and these police officers should back off these protesters.

County Board passes balanced 2015 budget

When You Don’t Need, Or Can’t Afford A Full Remodel

Though DuPage residents may see a bigger property tax bill this year, it largely won’t be the fault of the county board.

The body unanimously voted to pass its balanced, $449.4 million 2015 budget Nov. 25 without a tax hike for the seventh year in a row.

“Here in DuPage ... we are committed to doing more with less,” said DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin.

“This budget is a testament to that pledge.”

The budget, which took effect Monday, holds the $66.6 million levy and is $24.3 million less than last year’s budget because of how the county reports its debt services.

Cronin said since taking office in 2010, he has cut more than $34.3 million from the budget.

The new budget also included some of the asked for pay raises from the DuPage Sheriff’s Office, Convalescent Center, Transportation, Stormwater, Public Works and State’s Attorney’s Office without any additional money spent outside of the departments.

The most high profile of the raises came in the Sheriff’s Office after Sheriff John Zaruba asked the board in Au-

gust to up pay for supervisors.

Zaruba said then the pay scale of the deputies they oversaw was inching closer to their superiors due to unionized salary increases.

Board member and Finance Committee Chairman Paul Fichtner said the county asked that the agencies to first look within their own coffers.

“People came to us and said, ‘We want more money,’” he said. “A lesser government would have said ‘Here you go.’

We said, ‘Find it in your budget first.’”

The county agreed to pay an additional $500,000 across the various bodies after each found some money.

In the case of the Sheriff’s Office, the department found an additional $100,000.

Fichtner said the county would wait to add any additional money to both the department and other county bodies as the year went along and after various union negotiations finished.

The board also approved $57.5 million in capital projects for stormwater, drainage and road construction, cut a pair of jobs due to attrition and approved another $100,000 to continue its heroin education program, Fichtner said.

etween decking the halls, visiting family and attending holiday parties, it may seem like there is little time to maintain a workout routine during the holiday season. While the holiday season is an especially busy time of year, men and women who plan and stay dedicated to their routines do not need to let their health fall by the wayside until January.

Several studies show that people can gain anywhere from one pound to a few pounds between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Although that might not seem like a lot of weight, a report in The New England Journal of Medicine noted that many people never lose the weight they put on during the holidays.

Those who struggle to keep the weight off understand the importance of maintaining both a consistent fitness schedule and healthy eating habits. This may be challenging when the rich foods and parties synonymous with the holiday season are around to threaten healthy habits. Here’s how to stay on course.

• Establish a regular exercise date. Treat exercise as any other obligation on the calendar. Make it a necessity and not a luxury. Schedule time for workouts, even if it means removing something else from your agenda.

• Don’t worry about the length of your workouts. If you’re accustomed to an hourlong workout but cannot fit in more than 20 minutes on some days, don’t skip the workout simply because it’s shorter. Make the most of that time by targeting larger, core muscles.

• Change your schedule. You may need to alter your daily schedule to fit in gym workouts or other exercise. Try getting up earlier and heading out prior to work or school. This will open up time throughout the rest of your day, and you can use that time to meet the demands of the holiday season.

• Get a trainer or a workout buddy. It’s far easier to blow off a workout when you go it alone. However, if you have a workout partner who is counting on you and vice versa, you may be less inclined to miss a workout — even when you’re not especially motivated to hit the gym.

• Try new activities. Workouts need not be limited to exercises in the gym. Plenty of activities work the body and burn calories. Sledding, ice skating, skiing, and snowboarding are just a few winter sports that can help you stay in shape.

• Choose a hotel with a pool or gym. If holiday travel is on your itinerary, select a hotel that has fitness equipment. This way you can keep up with your routine. Even swimming a few laps in an indoor pool can provide a cardiovascular workout while you’re on vacation. Remember, it only takes a two-week break from exercise to experience a fitness regression, and you will only have to work harder to get back to your current fitness level if you let exercise slide too long.

• Add short, high-intensity exercises. Burn more calories in less time with high-intensity workouts. This way you won’t need to schedule as much time for workouts but will still get the benefit of exercise.

• Transform chores into exercise opportunities. See that vacuum cleaner, rake or broom as a piece of exercise equipment. While cleaning up for holiday company, turn on the radio and get your heart pumping, too. Do leg raises while you’re preparing meals or do some pushups off of the kitchen counter.

• Use your bodyweight. Even if you can’t make it to the gym, rely on your own body resistance for a thorough workout. Pushups, squats, burpees, mountain climbers, jumping rope, and lunges are some exercises that rely on bodyweight for effectiveness.

• Periodically exercise during the day. If you have a few free moments here and there during the day, use these opportunities to exercise.

By the end of the day, you may find you squeezed in an entire workout’s worth of exercise over the course of several 10-minute intervals.

Exercise and fitness do not have to play second fiddle to other holiday activities. Make time for workouts, and you will be ahead of the game come the new year.

any parents fondly recall their first holiday season as a mom and dad.

While youngsters may not remember much about their first Thanksgiving dinner with family or where their first Christmas present was placed under the tree, parents tend to cherish such memories, making their first holidays with children in tow very memorable.

Loved ones of new parents can take steps to make this holiday season even more special. The following are some gift ideas for holiday shoppers who want to make this season even more memorable for the proud new parents in their lives.

• Photo album: Today’s new parents have more pictures and video of their bundles of joy than any previous generation of moms and dads, as smartphones, tablets and other devices have made taking pictures much easier than in years past. But family members also have more access to such photos than ever before, making it easy to put together a special photo album of the new parents and their new child. Pull pictures from the parents’ social media accounts or make an album of the numerous photos you have no doubt received since your loved ones became parents. Parents likely don’t have time to make such albums, so your efforts will almost certainly be appreciated.

• Camcorder: Many smartphones are capable of taking video, but such devices are not ideal for shooting longer home videos new parents will want to watch for years to come. An HD camcorder with sufficient internal flash memory can allow new parents to take longer, higher quality videos with superior audio to those that are shot on smartphones. Such a camcorder may be costly for those shopping on a strict budget, but it’s a gift new parents are sure to love and utilize for years to come.

• Nursery sound system: New moms and dads are no doubt anxiously anticipating the day when the newest additions to their households sleep through the night. Help speed up the arrival of that glorious night with a nursery sound system that provides soothing sounds to create a perfect sleeping environment for newly born boys and girls. The results may not arrive overnight, but parents may soon find their lovable youngster is spending more of the wee hours of the morning sleeping and less time waking up mom and dad.

• Spa treatment: Not every gift you buy for the new parents in your life needs to focus on helping them cherish their first holiday season as parents.

New parents tend to experience lots of exhaustion in their first few months on the job, but a spa treatment can be just the relaxing break they need from catering to their bundle of joys’ every need. Moms may prefer the full spa treatment, while dads may simply want a massage and some relaxing time in the steam room. Book a treatment for both mom and dad so they can spend some time relaxing during this hectic time of year.

New parents often cherish their first holiday season as moms and dads, and the right holiday gift can make that first holiday season even better.

Mix white and silver patterns to create a frosty look for holiday entertaining.

we mixed non-holiday patterns in shades of purple and metallic gold," says Griffith. "These colors don't readily suggest Christmas, but we were able to create a rich, festive holiday feel by pairing these patterns with holiday accents. We filled glass bowls and compotes with rich-hued ornaments and incorporated gold finials in the table design. We created a centerpiece of silk florals in complementary colors which pulled the design theme together. One of my favorite things about this table is we can easily transition the look by replacing the gold hues with silver accents to create a table for our New Year's celebrations."

Naturals are really popular again this year for both tabletop and holiday ornaments. Designs range from whimsical and folksy to more sophisticated and contemporary. Burlap offers great texture this season with manufacturers incorporating this material into everything from wire decorating ribbon to holiday accents. Griffith suggests using burlap for table runners or place mats and venturing outside to gather greenery such as ivy or magnolia leaves, berries and pine cones to use for your centerpiece.

Vintage tableware continues to be a driving trend. Griffith says many people are including heirloom patterns, passed through the generations, in their holiday place settings to create a sense of family tradition, then mixing in newer patterns to infuse their own sense of style. He's also seeing smaller objects - such as vintage cookie cutters or toys - used as decor accents or to trim the trees.

Griffith says you see some of the design schemes his team is creating for the holiday season and find additional decorating ideas on Replacements' Facebook page.

Ornaments make great accents or place card holders.

is the season for holiday entertaining. Icy shades of glistening white, sophisticated naturals and dazzling rhinestones top the hottest design trends in tableware and collectibles for the 2014 winter holidays.

"Shades of white continue to be a customer favorite, both in ornaments and tabletop," says visual designer John Griffith. "For the past few years, holiday decor has hinted at glitz and glitter, but this season we're seeing more of a jeweled look with glamorous winter white designs heavily encrusted with rhinestones. It reminds me of when you wake up after a winter storm and everything is coated in sparking snow and ice."

Griffith leads the design team at dinnerware retailer giant, Replacements, Ltd. He loves mixing patterns in shades of white to create an elegant monochromatic look, but adds that using white as a unifying element also allows one to create endless design combinations by blending in additional colors, textures and shapes. Teammate Keith Winkler says you can easily use a different salad plate for each guest to create fun individual place settings, or even switch out accent plates between holidays to give your tabletop decor a totally different twist.

"For someone who entertains often, this is a great way to break up patterns so their guests don't always see the same designs over and over. Guests will enjoy the seasonal designs, and hosts will have all kinds of fun creating new looks for their table," Winkler says.

Bright colors are also trending as hosts break tradition by adding in splashes of bold hues that aren't typically associated with the holidays.

any families have their own unique holiday traditions, but some traditions transcend familial lines to become an integral part of many people’s holiday celebrations. One of the more popular traditions during this festive time of year is to watch a favorite holiday film with family and friends. With that in mind, the following are some of the most beloved holiday movies ever to make it onto the big screen.

• “It’s a Wonderful Life”: Perhaps no holiday film is more beloved than this 1946 Frank Capra-directed classic. Screen legend Jimmy Stewart plays a desperate businessman contemplating suicide during the holiday season. But a guardian angel helps him realize all the good fortune in his life by showing him what life might have been like if he had never existed.

• “White Christmas”: This 1954 song-and-dance film stars Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye as a pair of longtime friends and ex-military men who fall in love with a sister act team that includes famous singer (and aunt to George Clooney) Rosemary Clooney. Crosby and Kaye join forces to save the failing Vermont inn of their beloved former commander.

• “Miracle on 34th Street”: Natalie Wood stars in this 1947 classic that follows the trial of Kris Kringle, who claims to be Santa Claus and must prove otherwise to avoid being institutionalized. Nominated for Best Picture at the 1948 Academy Awards, “Miracle on 34th Street” won three of the prestigious statuettes, including a Best Supporting Actor Oscar® for Edmund Gwenn, who played the jolly old man in the red suit.

• “Bad Santa”: Though not quite as heartwarming as many holiday films, this 2003 black comedy stars Billy Bob Thornton as miserable, alcoholic con man “Willie,” who poses as a mall Santa Claus so he can rob a department store safe on Christmas Eve. But in spite of its rather raunchy take on the holiday season, the film is ultimately a story of redemption as Willie befriends a bullied youngster and begins to turn his life around.

• “A Christmas Carol”: Those looking for a more traditional take on holiday films need look no further than this 1951 adaptation of the Charles Dickens novella, which tells the tale of bitter miser Ebenezer Scrooge as he is haunted by three ghosts on Christmas Eve.

But when the holiday season ends, recycling those cards into other items can make good use of the paper resources and turn what’s normally a single-use item into an enduring trinket.

very Christmas Eve, children go to bed eagerly anticipating a visit from Santa Claus. This merry gentleman is purported to visit the home of every good girl and boy, delivering gifts and cheer along the way.

Before the modern evolution of Santa Claus lived a very real and generous individual named Nicholas. In the third century, Nicholas served as the Bishop of Myrna in present-day Turkey. He had a reputation for secret gift-giving, believing that giving should be done secretly and sacrificially in Jesus Christ’s name rather than one’s own.

Stories tell of Nicholas paying the dowry for poor daughters to enable them to get married. He reportedly put coins in the shoes of those who left them out for him. It is believed Nicholas helped to restore the hope of hundreds of people in his community, making him a beloved and revered Bishop. Throughout his ministry, Nicholas fervently shared his life and fortune with others.

Nicholas continued to be revered and commemorated by many Christians even after his death. His charity and unselfish works helped inspire generations of the faithful, and he eventually was named the patron saint of everyone from merchants to sailors to pawnbrokers.

No one really knows what St. Nicholas looked like. But in 2005, a forensic laboratory in England reviewed historical data and photographs of the remains taken from St. Nicholas’ grave in the 1950s.

Researchers concluded that he was a small man, perhaps no more than five feet in height, with a broken nose.

This image certainly does not fit with the robust frame and other imagery awarded St. Nicholas in more modern years. St. Nicholas is believed to be the inspiration for Santa Claus, which was a name taken from the Dutch Sinterklaas, a contracted form of Sint Nicolass, or St. Nicholas.

Tales of the real St. Nicholas’ giving spirit were blended with a fictional personification by New York-based newspaper writers who blended the St. Nicholas name with the appearance of a Dutch town citizen. The goal was to reach out to the primarily Dutch immigrants living in New York at the time. This jolly elf image was given a boost by the publication of “A Visit From St. Nicholas,” which was published around the same time.

Eventually, the merry Santa Claus portrayal began to outshine the more accurate St. Nicholas version as a religious man, fostered by political drawings and caricatures that depicted Santa as a chubby sort in a red suit. That image prevails to this day.

Beneath the Christmas symbolism, the beard and the presents associated with Santa Claus lies a tale of generosity that originated with St. Nicholas.

Restaurant reviews

Prairie Café shines as hidden gem ELMHURST – In the world of foodie indulgence, brunch has become king. Stacks of fluffy pancakes with farmer’s market berries and housemade creme fraiche fill up Instagram profiles. Breakfast foods with a dozen different kinds of artisanal ingredients dot menus across the country.

But sometimes, you don’t want to have to pay $14 for a pair of eggs, some toast and potatoes. That’s an itch that Prairie Café in Elmhurst can scratch.

The place has all the vibes of an old-school diner: the sizzle of a griddle in the back, a giant menu of your basic breakfast food variations and every classic sandwich you could hope for, all under $10.

That comparison extends to the staff, too. I never saw the bottom of my coffee cup, paid for by a jittery remainder of the day. The owner of the cafe remembered me and where I sat across two visits a week apart – and seemingly everyone else who came in – and had the right balance of chatty attentiveness and respect for space.

Interestingly, the middle of the restaurant has a meat counter filled with Boar’s Head products for sale.

On my first visit, I tried the pancake sandwich, made up of three cakes, two eggs and a big slab of ham steak. The ham was appropriately salty, with a nice bit of color added by the griddle. The dish had good texture throughout, and the eggs and pancakes delivered plenty of flavor.

My favorite bites of the meal were when I decided to go full-out “To Kill a Mockingbird” Walter Cunningham, and smother the whole thing in syrup. The sweetness of the syrup, pancakes and ham melded with the pork’s saltiness and eggy savoriness in a way I am not ashamed to admit enjoying.

My second visit featured the lumberjack skillet, which

avant-garde dishes that push the culinary envelope. But it doesn’t have to. It can hit any breakfast or lunch cravings you have, and do it with a whole lot of heart. Should you feel like a substantial bite during the day, there aren’t many better places to go than the Prairie Café.

BOYS BASKETBALL PREVIEW

Big men bolster Hinsdale Central, Hinsdale South

By JASON ROSSI

jrossi@shawmedia.com Thanksgiving tournaments signaled the start of the boys basketball season. Hinsdale Central and Hinsdale South competed at Central’s tourney, and here’s what to expect the rest of the way from the Red Devils and Hornets:

second straight West Suburban Silver title plus a regional championship last year, the Red Devils return several key pieces in hopes of replicating those results.

Jordan Bradshaw returns to the starting lineup at point guard, and Thomas Ives, Grant Hutcherson and Navy recruit George Kiernan are also back in the mix. However, Division I college prospect Matt Rafferty, who averaged 18.1 points and 11.5 rebounds per game last season, is the player opposing defenses will be looking to shut down.

“I definitely think opponents will focus on shutting down Matt, but we have viable options around him,” Latorre said. “Thomas, Neven [Mulc], George and Grant are all capable of scoring and alleviating a lot of the pressure on Matt.”

Peter Blust and Drew Shepherd arrive from the sophomore team and add depth. Latorre said Shepherd adds to the Red

Devils’ shooting while Blust will relieve Rafferty in the post.

Central started the season by going 3-1 at its own tournament. The loss came against highly-regarded Stevenson.

The Patriots could be a potential foe down the playoff road, but the Red Devils aren’t thinking that far ahead.

“We’re just focused on being as good as we can be, and wherever it leads, it leads,” Latorre said. “We don’t talk about winning or losing, we talk about executing.”

Freddy Reetz jr.

Position G G F G

Outlook: In 6-foot-11 Barret Benson, the Hornets have a solid centerpiece. Benson, who averaged 12.7 points and 9.5 rebounds per game last season, is a highly touted college recruit with offers from Iowa State, Kansas State, Northwestern.

The trick will be getting the ball to Benson in the post. He is the only returning starter and is surrounded by guards moving into much larger varsity roles this season.

“We’re young,” head coach Brett Moore said. “We have a couple of guys out there with him that played some meaningful varsity minutes, but

we have to get everybody on the same page. We have the potential.”

Iman Reynolds scored 32 points in a 73-58 win against Sandburg on Nov. 25, and along with senior Brian Kern has the potential to hit longrange shots and spread the floor. Clifford Davis, Tommy Gumbas, Matt Brandeis and Titerrion Edmond are the only other seniors on the roster. Getting the young group used to varsity speed hasn’t been easy as South had limited practice time before Tuesday’s 71-56 loss against Morton. More practice time should lead to better results down the road.

“We’re seeing a lot of progress with guys,” Moore said. “It had to be on the fly because we had one practice in eight days. It’s going to be a process where we see some guys evolve into some roles. I think we’ve got a good team.”

Hinsdale South’s Clifford Davis drives the baseline Tuesday while being guarded by Morton’s Weisner Perez. Davis is one of five seniors on the team as the Hornets have 10 juniors on the roster.

Game breakdown

CHAMPAIGN – To win the first state title in any sport in school history, Nazareth did what it does best – run the ball.

Nazareth ran the ball on its first 32 plays from scrimmage in the second half in a 26-7 win against Lemont in the Class 6A state title game. Nolan Dean had 22 of those 32 carries and scored a touchdown, both extending the Roadrunners’ lead and killing the clock.

“When they call my number, I just got to go get it for my team,” Dean said. “I just wanted to play a big role.”

Dean rushed for 199 yards and two touchdowns in the game. Julian Love added a rushing touchdown and wide receiver Kevin Jackson had a touchdown catch from quarterback Jonah Beauduy.

“Once we can pound the ball, the drives don’t feel like you’re expelling any energy at all,” senior offensive lineman Jack Shutack said. “It’s real-

It was the first state title in any sport for Nazareth. ly great when you got J. Love making you look good, Nolan, Jonah and Kevin, plus the four other guys on the offensive line [Michael Owens, Patrick Kilcommons, John Kilcommons and John Brunory].”

The Roadrunners’ defense also came up with three interceptions of Lemont quarterback Ryan Dawson, two by Matthew Flach.

Naz’s defense kept the Indians off the scoreboard for the last

three quarters. In addition to Flach’s two picks, Love had one on a jump ball in the end zone against Lemont’s Duke-bound ,all-state receiver Flynn Nagel.

Love lined up against Nagel on most snaps. His play and frequent double teams helped keep Nagel out of the end zone and limited him to six catches for 70 yards.

“I know what type of athlete Flynn is so I knew I had to get great position and just jump

NAZARETH LEADERS n PASSING: Jonah Beauduy: 4-of-6, 89 yards, TD n RUSHING: Nolan Dean: 39199, 2 TDs; Julian Love 6-28, TD n RECEIVING: Kevin Jackson: 2-66, TD; Christopher Simmons: 1-13; Dean 1-10 n DEFENSE: Matthew Flach: 2 INTs; Love: INT, tackle for loss; Donald Kelly: 2 sacks; Jordan Brooks: sack; Daniel Bakovich: 2 tackles for loss as high as I could,” Love said.

“We were both fighting for the ball, but I knew I had position to pull it down.”

Nazareth opened the scoring with a 35-yard touchdown pass from Beauduy to Jackson, and after Lemont tied the game Dean’s 1-yard run put Nazareth back on top on the last play of the first quarter. That 14-7 lead

remained until halftime.

The Roadrunners took the phrase “establishing the run” to another level in the second half as the 32 consecutive run plays essentially finished off the game. Love and Dean scored to pad the lead.

“When you have an offensive line such as ours, you can run the ball, you can pass the ball,” Nazareth coach Tim Racki said. “You really can do whatever you want.”

Nazareth overcame a flu bug hitting the team in the lead up to the game. Several of the Roadrunners were sick even Friday, but made the trip to Champaign and showed no ill-effects by game time.

“I’m happy to go home and get some nice rest,” Beauduy said. “We had a big bug before we came. We were all throwing up in the bathroom. We didn’t know if we were going to come down [to Champaign] yesterday. We were stuck in there and said ‘We got to get down there.’ This morning ... I don’t think anyone was feeling bad.”
